A death has been located for this John Shuttleworth, his
burial 2 Feb 1827 at St Marys, Reading, Berkshire,
England (ref Ancestry, England Select Deaths and
Burials); in the Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 97, Part 1
(available online), is the following entry: "Jan. 27
[1827]. At Reading, in his 80th year, John Shuttleworth,
esq. formerly of Elsinore, and late of London,
merchant." By this calculation his birth was in
about 1747 which fits his marriage date.

There are two most likely baptisms for this John in
Yorkshire at the correct time. These are (1) bap 11 Feb
1748 at Methley, Yorkshire of John Shuttleworth, son of
John and Mary; and (2) bap Dec 1748 at Slaidburn,
Yorkshire of John Shuttleworth, son of John; Methley is
about 37 miles from Alne, and Slaidburn is about 60 miles
from Alne.

The probable baptism for Dorothy Firbank is 14 Feb 1752
at Kirklington, Yorkshire, dau of Tho. and Dorothy
Firbank; there seems to have been another Thomas Firbank
at the same time having children baptised there (ref
FamilySearch and Ancestry). Alne and Kirklington are 18
miles apart. The probable marriage for Dorothy's parents
Thomas Firbank and Dorothy FOSS is on 25
Apr 1751 at Thornton Watlass, Yorkshire, which is about 8
miles from Kirklington.

The baptism record which includes Dorothy Firbank has
been transcribed and is at https://archive.org as "The parish registers of
Kirklington in the county of York"; this includes
the fact that Thomas & Dorothy Firbank were of Sutton
cum Howgrave. No other children of Thomas & Dorothy
Firbank are listed.

The first two daughters of John and Dorothy are likely,
and they definitely had a daughter Caroline who was
probably the one baptised in 1777 at Saint Mary, Kingston
Upon Hull, Yorkshire. This is about 60 miles from Alne.
Kingston upon Hull is usually abbreviated to Hull.

John and Dorothy were certainly living in Denmark during
the period 1778 - 1787 and perhaps for longer. In a
maritime website for Denmark (author J Marcussen) there
is reference to a vessel called Neptunus which was
purchased in 1781 by John Shuttleworth. It is not known
when they returned to England and lived in London. They
were certainly living at Sun Tavern Fields in November
1798, for which, see the entry for son George Edmund
Shuttleworth.

It seems that John Shuttleworth was a manufacturer of oil
of turpentine at Sun Tavern Fields.

Note on SHADWELL and environs:"This place,
which was formerly called Chadwelle, took its name, as is
supposed, from a spring dedicated to St. Chad. It was a
hamlet of Stepney till 1669, when it was separated from
that parish by act of parliament. It lies in the hundred
of Ossulston, and is bounded on the north and east by
Stepney; on the west by St. George, Middlesex; and on the
south by the river. Its extent is very small, being only
910 yards in length, and 760 in breadth. The only land
not occupied by buildings consists of a few acres, called
Sun-tavern fields, in which are several
rope-walks, 400 yards in length, where cables are made
from six to 23 inches in girth. The part of the parish
which lies near the river (called Lower Shadwell) is
chiefly inhabited by tradesmen and manufactures connected
with the shipping; such as ship-chandlers, biscuit
bakers, wholesale butchers, mast-makers, sail-makers,
anchor-smiths, coopers, &c. Mr. Newell Connop has a
large distillery in this parish, and Mr. Philips a
brewery, and there are three coal wharves. Shadwell-dock,
belonging to Mr. Fletcher, and Wapping wall-dock,
belonging to Mr. Hales, are in this parish. BRITISH

In 1801 John was living at Sun Tavern Fields:"At the Shadwell
Police-office, yesterday, Thomas Dyer, porter at the
Spread-eagle Inn, in Grace-church-street, was fined in
the penalty of twenty shillings, for not delivering in
due time a basket of game directed to JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH,
Esq. of Sun-tavern-fields; but in consideration of his
circumstances, and promising not to offend again, the
penalty was mitigated to ten shillings, and costs."
(ref British Newspaper Archive, Morning Post, Tues 6 Jan
1801)
In 1804 John was living at Sun Tavern Fields, Middlesex
at the reported death of son William in Calcutta. John appears to be
witness to marriages of daughter Caroline in 1805,
daughter Anna in 1807 and daughter Mary Matilda in 1814
in London.

In 1807 at Anna's marriage, John's address is given as
Guildford-street, London. Guilford Street is a road in
Bloomsbury in central London, England, designated the
B502. From Russell Square it extends east-northeast to
Gray's Inn Road. Note that it is not spelt the same way
as Guildford in Surrey (ref Wikipedia).
"MARRIED. Richard Burman, esq; of Southam,
Worcestershire, to Miss Anna Shuttleworth, 2d daughter of
John Shuttleworth, esq; of Guildford-street,
London." (ref BNA Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette
Thurs 31 Dec 1807)

See above, a death has been located for this John
Shuttleworth, his burial 2 Feb 1827 at St Marys, Reading,
Berkshire, England (ref Ancestry, England Select Deaths
and Burials); in the Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 97,
Part 1 (available online), is the following entry:
"Jan. 27 [1827]. At Reading, in his 80th year, John
Shuttleworth, esq. formerly of Elsinore, and late of
London, merchant."

Probable burial of Dorothy was 23 Jun 1828 at St Anne,
Limehouse, London. The record states
Dorothy Shuttleworth, abode Camden Town, 23 Jun, 76 years
(ref Ancestry London Burials). This would make her
estimated birth year 1752.
Note that daughter Caroline was a member of that parish
when she married in 1805.
